Repotting your adenium plant is important for caudex growth.
I have seen many who did not change its pot and the plant become unwanted plant that sits alone on the owner's garden wanting to get out for fresh air! In fact, many has abandoned this beautiful plant and left it at one corner of the garden. The branch of these plant has not been trimmed, probably left there idle for many years. Taking care of this plant is very simple.
Below is an example of how to clean the plant. First remove the pot and use a hose and wash all the soil off the root. Make sure you wash it clean. Once its clean, repot it onto a pot that is slightly bigger than its caudex size. The above is a 6 years old adenium arabicum. Its stem/branch grow upwards, strong and sturdy. Once you have repotted withproper soil, give your plant a trim and it will bloom again for you.

If your caudex size is 4 inch, use 6 inch pot. If the caudex is 12 inch, go for 16 inch pot. Do not use a 16 inch pot if your caudex is only 5 inch in width as you will need to change the used soil. The larger size the pot is, you would need to use more soil! So, please change according to its growth.So how often do you need to change the soil? Every 3 to 4 months change once but do not throw away your old soil. You can still reuse it by mixing it with new ones.
